No worries. We didn't get our feelings hurt, we were just trying to do the same; get a self lasing capability. We dropped it for the time being but it is obvious by the pictures that someone else was able to pick it up. It was 2003 when we were doing this so I'm sure they were needed...

We were trying to test the LITENING Pod on the Hoover, but the Marines were the closest ones who had one. We had worked out a deal to borrow one for a bit, but then we got the cease and desist NOW order. We figured that someone thought we were pushing in on their turf or something like that...

HAL, How are things with this sicko? I think I would try the same tactic if there was a pedophile that close to my family.

That is awesome to see! I know that the community has been working on trying to get it for several years but there has been resistance. When my squadron tried to get one for testing, we were told from on up high that the Marines didn't like it and to stop. I'm glad that they kept on working...

No matter what, If I had a confirmed date and some sort of paperwork, I would just show up. It will include some extra pain, but you would be in if they were expecting you. Just my $.02

Yeah, they still do "Hummer Controlled Approaches" I don't think they've gotten any better at it either! :)

Ya! Zab is back! Not dead in a gutter 'eh?

Do you mean why TACAN instead of VOR? A TACAN provides the same info in a more accurate format. No twisting dials until you find what radial you are on, a TACAN once tuned, will always point to the station, DME is built in as a a function of the station not an additional equipment to the...

That happens a lot at MSU. I loved every second of my time there! :D

Troublemaker!

Gotcha. It's the ship limiting the CODs. It's not like we have anything else to do do when a ship is out but bag traps. Let me know if you decide to go. Maybe I can get you the window seat. :D

Good and interesting read. I haven't read the whole think yet, but I think that the modular carrier is one of the biggest changes I'm seeing being recommended to the CVN itself. Otherwise, it seems that we have done some variation of each recommendation in the past. HeyJoe, I'm assuming that...

Concur

www.npc.navy.mil has the story too. It says that the Navy is soliciting bids for free credit monitoring for 1 year for all those affected. I put a 90 fraud alert on with experian just in case I'm one of the lucky winners with info posted. they will put a fraud alert on the other 2 credit...

We have that. Hover your cursor over the box to the left of the thread title and it will tell you that it takes you to the first unread post.

My XO put out the word today that no one in our command was elgible for VSP. He said on the aviation side, it was only for the no longer flying Aviation types (the FNAEB crowd) or those who have failed to select for O-4 or failed to screen for DH. So there is what you have to shoot for if...

So how is the sound quality?? HAL, how was the quality for an overseas call? Echo? Delay?

Back on topic - Master, I've done the VS to VRC transition. Just ask if you have any questions.

Yes I do...

Guess which one I chose? Never had a seconds regret either. :)

they may be making demonstrators of the E-2D, but the E-2C is the only model being procured by the Navy right now. The -D is still a few years off.

I'm on the edge of my seat... How did this turn out?!

Not necessarily. In theory you can take a competative shore tour and break out there. I know you've said before that you are a pretty Jr LT so in the Navies eyes, I'm thinking they see you still can do it. **I NOT AN EXPERT, JUST DONE SOME RESEARCH!** Check w/your detailer for the...

I feel safe in saying that I don't think that you are a target for VSP. In theory, as a CAT 1 FRS Stud, you have a long and viable career ahead of you. The message specifically states that it is for those who are not "competative". I.E. FNAEB'ed people no longer flying, people who fail to...

Ok, now I'm on a normal computer and can make the point better. If you spent 5 minutes doing some simple searches you would have found all of this info that probably answers your every question. There is a wealth of knowledge on AirWarriors, but have a few of the basics down when you ask a...

Are you fighting this still or are you moving on? Do you want to stay Navy? If not, look into the VSP program. Otherwisr, I think your choices are limited. Transition/redesignation board or a staff job may be options.

Because: 1. As a taxpayer, you pay me to not be a chatty Cathy about things that aren't "public" knowledge. 2. You are asking questions that are answered in detail on this site and many others that you have been refered too. 3. You are too lazy to look up stuff after you've been given the...

Look, all your info is bad in some way or other. I don't even want to try to straighten you out. Check out navy.mil www.fas.org globalsecurity.com and www.google.com. Sorry if my answers piss you off but your basic info is circa 1990, I'm using a cellphone to type this and I'm at the jail...

OK, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but your question makes it obvious you have not done any kind of search for your answers. S-3 guys are transitioning to other aircraft and the mission is being filled by Supers, H-60s and land based assets. Now go do some searches and reading.

^ Yeah, that's f@cking gay. I went through 8 years ago. What is JSUT/JCOP?

The NPC link is down, but the links in this thread will still get you to the site.

You will not select S-3s. The last squadron will go away in late '08 or '09. The FRS goes away later this year.

IRAD = Involuntary Release from Active Duty IRAD is how you accomplish a RIF

The IRAD of USNR is only a rumor at this point. All Officers were augmented as of 01JUN06 anyway. See the NPC Link here

yeah, the pax don't seem to like that option much. Same reason we don't fly with chutes except on an FCF, we are all in it together until the end. Would you want to be a pax when I go running for the ramp yelling "I've done all I can, let me know how it turns out!" :eek:

We fly our procedures and hope to pull it off. You've got the rest of the flight to get it right. :D Ok, seriously, we really hawk our S.E. performance and brief exactly what we would do in that scenario. Ground effect over the water and some good old fashioned torque will help you fly and...

The max allowed is 2 times the normal severance pay. The normal severance pay formula can be found in the second link on my post above (#3). At 8 1/2 years service, an O-3 max could be up to $96,000. Is anyone actually going to get the max bid? I don't know. everone selected will get...

Merged the 2 threads to keep it simple.

The max amount of a bid can be 2X the normal separation pay. LINK So as I figure it, that is $96,500 max for me. (0.10 x years of active service x 12 months x monthly basic pay). Formula is from HERE

Things better get better soon! I may be looking for a new job in '08!

I don't really know "Fanus" or "Assface". I think he was a west coast guy. I was a Jax guy.

HELL YEAH!!! I did put it down and I got it too! :)

I know that you are asking about the Marine Corp but the Navy still has draftsmen. Of course they are going to be merged into another rate shortly, but their skills are still required.

Why wait for someone else to put you in touch...call a recruiter in your area. Any recruiting office can put you in touch with the Officer Recruiter who covers where you are. Take the initiative first because no one else is more interested in the results than you are.

Many of the people on here have developed their opinions through reading material that is classified. That means that in order to truly discuss their opinions, they would need a classified forum to divulge detail that would accurately back their discussion points. That is not AW. Sometimes...

Do you know how you will rank on the next fitrep? When can you expect to get the transition orders?

Doesn't the P-3 have the APS-137 radar? Use that for the air-air stuff. It worked great for us in the Viking. Just needed a halfway decent operator to get it to work...

I think we are talking of the same method Brett, I just don't put it so pretty sometimes. The front office absolutely holds the golden ticket if you want the RAG or some other highly sought after job, but their key is the CO to CO call saying, yeah, this is the guy you want...

I would be in deep doo doo if I was in this community because I would pitch a sh*t fit if the XO tried to negotiate orders "on my behalf". In the Viking Community and in the E2/C2 world, you are the one who contacts the detailer. The CO/XO do not negotiate on your behalf. It all is a...
